After allocating his points, Lin Ye felt his Sea of Consciousness expand once more.
Before advancing to P3, if Lin Ye’s Sea of Consciousness had been the size of a river, it had now completely transformed into a vast lake.
Lin Ye also noticed that the Spiritual Power value on his panel had shot up from just over 6,000 to more than 8,800 points.
Until now, Lin Ye had basically put all his points into Spirit.
Now, he also had the Candlelight Illuminating the Nine Netherworld Map, an Observation Skill, providing him with the Spirit attribute.
After the growth rate of his Spirit Platform Mirror was completed, it had instead become Lin Ye’s highest attribute, standing head and shoulders above the rest.
Lin Ye’s attention shifted to the second skill.
[Elemental Mastery LV1]
[Skill Type: Composite Skill]
[Cost: None]
[Passive Effect: From now on, your affinity for various elemental Source Energies will continuously increase when you fight other adventurers, kill monsters with a specific elemental Source Energy affinity, or practice a Cultivation Technique of a specific attribute.]
[Active Effect: Select an attribute for which you have over 100 affinity points and imbue your Primordial Gang Sha with it to gain corresponding elemental effects.]
[The higher your affinity for a corresponding elemental Source Energy, the greater your control, adaptability, and resistance to that element.]
[Current Elemental Source Energy Affinity:]
[Fire: 469.6]
[Wind: 0], [Wood: 0], [Earth: 0], [Metal: 0], [Thunder: 0], [Water: 0]
[Note: Flourishing, Assisting, Resting, Imprisoned, Dead.]
A grin involuntarily spread across Lin Ye’s face.
He had always been envious of Dongfang Zhen’s Elementalization ability.
’It seems like if I level this skill and my affinity high enough, I’ll probably get a similar effect.’
Beyond that, Lin Ye marveled at the system’s planning and foreshadowing.
’So this is what it was all leading up to!’
He had always felt that while his golden Gang Sha was domineering and pure, it ultimately lacked variety.
Only now did he understand that its pure, non-attributed state was the groundwork for this very skill.
In the future, he could switch his Primordial Gang Sha to any attribute he wanted.
Moreover, there were relationships of creation and destruction among all the attributes.
When facing opponents with distinct elemental characteristics, he just had to switch to a counter-attribute, and the difficulty of the battle would plummet.
Lin Ye dragged the preview progress bar to the max to see the skill’s effects at its highest level, LV20.
But the skill description barely changed; the only differences were that his control over each element would gradually increase, and the affinity cap would also be raised.
He didn’t overthink it and directly invested one skill point.
The [Elemental Mastery] icon lit up accordingly.
With a thought, Lin Ye chose to switch his Gang Sha to the Fire Attribute.
BUZZ!
Lin Ye released the Gang Sha within his body, forming the Gangsha Armor over his skin.
The originally golden Gangsha Armor was instantly dyed a blazing crimson-gold. Hot air currents even surged from the gaps in the armor, and the temperature of the surrounding air rose by several degrees out of nowhere.
He opened his right hand and immediately felt the free-floating Fire Attribute Source Energy Particles in the air joyfully gathering toward his palm.
The next moment, a mass of roaring flames ignited above his palm, dancing wildly.
Lin Ye understood.
’Leveling up this skill also affects the efficiency with which I can draw corresponding elemental Source Energy from the surrounding space.’
’This will directly impact the final power of my techniques.’
The figures of Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan couldn’t help but surface in Lin Ye’s mind.
’Those two are always clamoring to spar with me.’
’Perfect. I can use the opportunity while sparring with them to openly increase my Thunder and Metal Attribute affinities.’
’It’s killing two birds with one stone.’
Then, he thought of Wei Shuying’s cold face and shook his head.
Ever since he had instantly defeated her with a single spear thrust last time, she seemed to go out of her way to avoid him, as if she couldn’t get away fast enough.
’I really just made a casual thrust back then. I didn’t expect to actually give her a complex about it.’
’Looks like my Water Attribute affinity is going nowhere for now.’
Lin Ye shifted his attention from [Elemental Mastery] to the remaining two skills.
[Summon Minions LV1]
[Skill Type: Active Skill]
[Cost: A certain percentage of max Life Value]
[Passive Effect: You can select a creature you have killed and record it as a minion template. The template’s evolution tier cannot exceed 0.8.]
[Active Effect: Select a minion template and consume a portion of your max Life Value to grant it life. The minion will possess the template’s base attributes, Racial Traits, and Racial Skills.]
[You can invest a portion of your max Life Value and attribute points into your minions to enhance their combat power.]
[Note: There is a limit to the number of minions you can currently summon. There are also limits on the Life Value and attribute points you can grant them. The maximum duration a minion can exist depends on the amount of Life Value you invest.]
[Current max summonable minions: 1]
[Current max investable Life Value: 10%.]
[Current max investable attribute points: Depends on the template, but cannot exceed 10% of your own attribute values.]
Lin Ye studied the skill’s description carefully.
At first glance, the skill seemed pretty good.
He could summon a powerful monster he had previously killed as an ally anytime, anywhere.
It might have a surprising effect in certain special situations.
But Lin Ye quickly shook his head.
’This skill is of very limited value to me.’
He already had the [Silk Puppet].
